Vila Franca do Campo

Short-term letting (Alojamento Local, AL) is regulated at the municipal level in Vila Franca do Campo, as it is across Portugal: the national Alojamento Local regime (Decreto-Lei 128/2014, as amended) sets registration and operating requirements, while each câmara municipal can designate zonas de contenção that suspend or restrict new AL registrations. Restriction status varies by municipality and by parish, and changes over time.

This is general information, not legal advice — confirm the current status for a specific address with the Vila Franca do Campo câmara municipal before assuming a property can be operated as AL.

Municipal Property Tax (IMI) is levied annually by the Vila Franca do Campo council within a band set nationally, so the exact rate depends on the municipality and the property’s taxable value (VPT). We do not print a rate we cannot source: any specific figure we publish is drawn from the official register with its reference year, never estimated here.
